发明内容 SUMMARY

[0007] 顺便说明，反馈型的噪声消除系统一般具有这样一种特性：尽管其中它可消除噪声或它可减小噪声的频带宽度比较小，但可把噪声减小比较大的量。 [0007] Incidentally, a noise canceling system of the feedback type generally has a characteristic: although it can cancel noise or it can reduce the noise band width is relatively small, but the relatively large amount of noise reduction.另一方面，前馈型的噪声消除系统具有其中它消除噪声并且稳定性高的宽频带。 On the other hand, the feed-forward noise canceling system of the type in which it has high stability and eliminate broadband noise.然而认为，当它与依据对于噪声源的位置关系的估计传递函数不相符时，有噪声在该频率下可能增大的可能性。 However that, when it is not consistent with the positional relationship based on the estimation of the noise source transfer function, there is a possibility of noise at this frequency may be increased.

[0008] 因此，在使用具有其中可消除噪声并且具有高稳定性的宽频带的前馈型噪声消除系统的情况下，认为，即使减小噪声存在于其中的频带，如果在特定窄频带内的噪声突出，那么听众也不可能感觉到噪声减小效果。 [0008] Thus, the use of which eliminates noise having a wide frequency band and having a high stability of the noise canceling system of the feedforward type case, that even if the frequency band to reduce the noise present in which, if in a particular narrow frequency band noise is prominent, so the audience can not feel the noise reduction effect.

[0009] 因此，需要提供一种噪声消除系统和一种噪声消除方法，通过它们，可在其中可消除噪声的频带较宽，并且除此之外可稳定地实现优良的噪声减小效果。 [0009] Accordingly, a need to provide a noise canceling system and a noise canceling method by which, which can eliminate the noise in a wide band, and in addition can be stably realize excellent noise reduction effect.

[0010] 根据本发明的实施例，提供有一种噪声消除系统，它包括：第一声音收集部分，提供在待附加到用户耳部上的壳体上，并且构造成收集噪声和输出第一噪声信号；第一信号处理部分，构造成基于第一噪声信号产生用来减小在预定消除点处的噪声的第一噪声减小信号；声音发射部分，关于第一声音收集部分提供在声音发射方向侧，并且构造成基于第一噪声减小信号发射噪声减小声音；第二声音收集部分，关于声音发射部分提供在待附加到用户耳部上的壳体的声音发射方向侧，并且构造成收集噪声和输出第二噪声信号；及第二信号处理部分，构造成基于第二噪声信号产生用来减小在消除点处的噪声的第二噪声减小信号，声音发射部分基于第一和第二噪声减小信号发射噪声减小声音。 [0010] According to an embodiment of the present invention, there is provided a noise canceling system, comprising: a first sound collecting portion provided in the housing to be attached to the ear of the user, and configured to collect noise and output a first noise signal; a first signal processing section, configured to generate a first noise signal based on the first noise reduction for reducing noise-canceling signal at a predetermined point; a sound emitting section, on the first sound collecting portion provided in the sound emission direction side, and is configured to transmit based on the first noise reduction noise reduction sound signal; and a second sound collecting section, the sound emitting portion is provided on the sound emission direction to be attached to the user's ear side of the housing, and configured to collect noise and output a second noise signal; and a second signal processing section, configured for generating a second noise signal based on the second noise reduction signal to reduce the noise at the point of elimination, the sound emitting portion based on the first and second noise reduction noise reduction sound signal transmission.

[0011] 在噪声消除系统中，由第一声音收集部分、第一信号处理部分及声音发射部分形成的反馈型噪声消除系统部分；和由第二声音收集部分、第二信号处理部分及声音发射部分形成的前馈型噪声消除系统部分可同时起作用。 [0011] In the noise canceling system, the sound collecting a first portion, a first signal processing section and sound emission portion is formed feedback type noise canceling system section; and a second sound collection section, second signal processing section and sound emission feedforward noise cancellation system can function portion is formed simultaneously.因而，在同一消除点处的噪声由两个噪声消除系统部分减小。 Thus, eliminating noise at the same point of the system is reduced by the two portions of the noise cancellation.

[0012] 因此，由于在也另外施加反馈型噪声消除系统部分的特性的同时噪声分量可由前馈型噪声消除系统部分衰减，所以在宽频带上能以高水平消除噪声，并且可实现较高的噪声减小效果。 [0012] Thus, since the feedback type is applied additionally also noise canceling system section of the characteristics of the noise component may be simultaneously feedforward noise canceling system section of decay, it is at a high level over a wide band can eliminate noise, and can achieve a higher noise reduction effect.

[0013] 借助于该噪声消除系统，由于使前馈型噪声消除系统部分和反馈型噪声消除系统部分可操作，所以产生的噪声在壳体内部由前馈型噪声消除系统部分衰减。 [0013] by means of which the noise canceling system, since the noise canceling system of the feedforward type and feedback type portions noise canceling system section is operable to generate the noise attenuation system in the housing portion removed by the feed-forward noise.另外，由于也添加反馈型噪声消除系统部分的特性，所以可实现较高的噪声减小效果。 Further, since the add feedback noise canceling system section of the characteristic, it is possible to achieve high noise reduction effect.

[0028] 噪声消除系统 [0028] The noise cancellation system

[0029] 主动减小外部噪声的系统，即噪声消除系统，开始在头戴耳机和耳塞中普及。 [0029] Active systems reduce external noise, i.e. noise cancellation system, the headphone began to spread and earplugs.投入市场的几乎所有噪声消除系统都由模拟电路形成，并且按照噪声消除技术粗略地分类成前馈型和反馈型。 Market nearly all noise canceling systems formed by an analog circuit, and cancellation technology roughly classified into the feedback type and the feedforward type according to the noise.

[0030] 在描述本发明的优选实施例之前，参照图IA至5描述反馈型噪声消除系统的构造和操作原理的例子和前馈型噪声消除系统的构造和操作原理的例子。 [0030] Before describing the preferred embodiments of the present invention, with reference to an example of FIG. 5 described example IA feedback noise canceling system, the principles of construction and operation of the feedforward type and the noise canceling system configuration and operating principle.

[0031] 反馈型的噪声消除系统 [0031] The noise canceling system of the feedback type

[0032] 首先，描述反馈型的噪声消除系统。 [0032] First, a noise canceling system of the feedback type.图IA表示用于右声道侧的构造，其中反馈型噪声消除系统对其适用的头戴耳机系统附加到用户的头部上，就是说，附加到用户头部HD上。 FIG IA showing a configuration of the right side of the channel, wherein the feedback-type noise canceling headset system is applicable to the system attached to a user's head, that is, attached to the user head HD.同时，图IB表示反馈型噪声消除系统的一般构造。 Meanwhile, FIG. IB shows the general configuration of the noise canceling system of the feedback type.

[0033] 在应用反馈系统的场合，一般地麦克风111如在图IA中所看到的那样定位在头戴耳机壳体（壳体部分）HP内部。 [0033] In the case of application of the feedback system, such as the microphone 111 positioned generally at (housing portion) inside the HP headphone housing as in FIG. IA as seen.对于由麦克风111收集的信号（噪声信号）的反相分量(噪声减小信号）被反馈，并且用于伺服控制以减小从外部进入头戴耳机壳体HP的噪声。 For inverted component (noise reduction signal) collected by the microphone 111 (the noise signal) is fed back and used for servo control from the outside to reduce the headphone housing HP noise.在这个实例中，麦克风111的位置成为与用户耳朵的位置相对应的消除点或控制点CP。 In this example, the position of the microphone 111 becomes a position corresponding to the user's ear or eliminate point control point CP.因此，麦克风111常常放置在靠近用户耳朵的位置处，就是说，考虑到噪声减小效果放在均衡器16的隔膜的前正面上。 Thus, the microphone 111 are often placed at a position near the user's ear, that is, taking into account the noise reduction effect on the front face 16 of the separator equalizer.

[0034] 参照图IB更具体地描述反馈型的噪声消除系统。 [0034] Referring more specifically to FIG IB described noise canceling system of the feedback type.在图IB中表示的反馈型噪声消除系统包括麦克风和麦克风放大部分11，该麦克风和麦克风放大部分11包括麦克风111和麦克风放大器112。 Feedback type in the noise canceling system shown in FIG. IB includes a microphone and microphone amplification section 11, the microphone and microphone amplification section 11 includes a microphone 111 and microphone amplifier 112.噪声消除系统还包括为反馈控制设计的滤波器电路（下文称作FB滤波器电路）12、合成部分13、功率放大器14、包括驱动电路151和扬声器152的驱动器15、及均衡器16。 Noise canceling system further includes a filter designed for feedback control circuit (hereinafter referred to as FB filter circuit) 12, synthesis section 13, power amplifier 14, includes a drive circuit 151 and a speaker 152 of driver 15, and the equalizer 16.

[0035] 在图IB中表示的方块中描述的字符A、D、M及-β分别代表功率放大器14、驱动器15、麦克风和麦克风放大部分11、及FB滤波器电路12的传递函数。 [0035] The characters A, D, M and -β blocks shown in FIG. IB represent the described power amplifier 14, driver 15, microphone and microphone amplification section 11, and the transfer function of the FB filter circuit 12.类似地，在均衡器16的方块中的字符E代表待乘以听觉对象的信号S的均衡器16的传递函数，并且在驱动器15与消除点CP之间放置的方块的字符H代表从驱动器15到麦克风111的空间的传递函数，就是说在驱动器与消除点之间的传递函数。 Similarly, the character H represents the block equalizer 16 characters E represents the transfer function to be multiplied by the hearing object equalizer signal S 16, and placed between the driver 15 and the elimination point CP block from the driver 15 the transfer function of the microphone to a space 111, that is in the drive and to eliminate the transfer function between the points.提到的传递函数以复数表达式表示。 Mentioned transfer function represented in a complex expression.

[0036] 参照图IA和1Β，字符N代表从外部的噪声源NS到在头戴耳机壳体HP中的麦克风的位置周围的部分进入的噪声，并且字符P代表来到用户耳朵的声压或输出声音。 [0036] Referring to FIGS. IA and l [beta], the character N represents noise entering from the outside source NS at some locations around the headphone housing HP microphone noise, and the character P represents the sound pressure to the user's ear or output sound.噪声N进入头戴耳机壳体HP中的原因是，例如作为声压从头戴耳机壳体HP的耳垫的间隙泄漏的声音、或作为由施加到头戴耳机壳体HP上的这样的声压引起的其振动的结果传输到壳体内部的声音。 Causes noise N into the headphone housing HP is, for example, the sound pressure as a sound from the headset earphone gap of the ear pad HP leakage, such as sound or the earphone is applied to the headgear by HP the results of the pressure vibration induced sound transmission to the interior of the housing.

[0037] 在这时，来到在图IB中的用户耳朵的声压P可由在图3中的表达式⑴表达。 [0037] At this time, the user's ear to the sound pressure P in FIG. IB is expressed by expression ⑴ in FIG. 3.如果注意在图3中的表达式⑴中的噪声N，则可认识到噪声N衰减到l/(l+ADHMi3)。 Note that in FIG. 3, if Expressions ⑴ noise N, N can be appreciated that the noise attenuator to l / (l + ADHMi3).为了使图3的表达式（I)的系统作为噪声消除机构在噪声减小对象频带内稳定地操作，必须满足在图3中的表达式（2)。 In order to make expression of FIG. 3 (I) as a noise canceling system is stably operated mechanism within the target band noise reduction, the expression must be satisfied in FIG. 3 (2).

[0038] 一般地，由于在反馈型噪声消除系统中的传递函数的乘积的绝对值高于1(1<<ADHMi3)，所以根据图3的表达式⑵的系统的稳定性能以如下方式与在古典控制理论中的尼奎斯特（Nyquist)稳定性的判定一起解释。 [0038] Generally, since the absolute value of the product of the feedback noise canceling system transfer function is higher than 1 (1 << ADHMi3), so that a stable performance of the system in accordance with the expression ⑵ FIG. 3 in the following manner determining classical control theory Nyquist (the Nyquist) stability interpreted together.

[0039] 考虑当与噪声N相关的环路在图IB中的一个地方（-ADHMP )处切断时产生的“开环”。 [0039] When considering the noise associated with a place in the N loop in FIG IB (-ADHMP) produced when cutting the "open loop."例如，如果切断部分提供在麦克风和麦克风放大部分11与FB滤波器电路12之间，那么可形成“开环”。 For example, if the cut portion is provided between the microphone and microphone amplification section 11 and FB filter circuit 12, it may form an "open loop."这种开环具有例如由在图4中所看到的这样一种板图所代表的这样一种特性。 This open loop has such a characteristic example of a plate in FIG. 4 represents seen.[0040] 在这种开环选择为对象的场合，由尼奎斯特的稳定性判定，两个条件是：（I)当相位通过O度点时，增益必须低于0dB(0分贝）；和（2)当增益高于O dB时，相位必须不包括 [0040] In the case of open loop selected object, determined by the stability of Nyquist, two conditions that: (I) when the phase of the point O by the gain must be lower than 0dB (0 decibels); and (2) when the gain is higher than O dB, the phase must not include

O度点。 O-degree point.

[0041] 如果以上条件（I)和（2)的任一个不满足，那么正反馈施加到环路上，导致环路的振荡（嘯声）。 [0041] If the above conditions (I) and any one of (2) is not satisfied, then positive feedback is applied to the loop, resulting in oscillation loop (howling).在图4中，附图标记Pa和Pb分别代表相位裕量，并且Ga和Gb分别代表增益裕量。 In FIG. 4, reference numerals Pa and Pb denote a phase margin, and Ga and Gb denote a gain margin.在这样的裕量较小的场合，依据在利用噪声消除系统应用的头戴耳机的用户中的个人差别和依据头戴耳机安装时的分散性，振荡的可能性较高。 In such a small margin of the occasion, wearing headphones when the dispersion of individual differences and installed in accordance with the user based on the use of noise-canceling headphones system applications in the high possibility of oscillation.

[0042] 具体地说，在图4中的横坐标轴指示频率，而纵坐标轴在其上半部和下半部处分别指示增益和相位。 [0042] Specifically, the abscissa axis in FIG. 4 indicates the frequency, and the ordinate axis indicate gain and phase in the upper and lower halves thereof.那么，当相位通过O度点时，如由在图4中的增益裕量Ga和Gb看到的那样，如果增益低于O dB，那么正反馈施加到环路上，导致振荡。 Then, when the phase of the point by O, as indicated by the amount of gain margin Ga and Gb in FIG. 4 seen, if the gain is less than O dB, then positive feedback is applied to the loop, resulting in oscillation.然而，当增益等于或高于OdB时，除非相位不包括O度点，否则正反馈施加到环路上，导致振荡，如从在图4中的相位裕量Pa和Pb看到的那样。 However, when the gain is equal to or higher than the OdB, unless the phase does not include a point of O, otherwise positive feedback is applied to the loop, resulting in oscillation, as seen from the phase margin in FIG. 4 Pa ​​and Pb seen.

[0043] 现在，除上述的噪声减小功能之外，描述来自其中并入在图IB中表示的反馈型噪声消除系统的头戴耳机的必要声音的再现。 [0043] Now, in addition to the above-described noise reducing function, the necessary sound is described in which the feedback type is incorporated headphone noise canceling system shown in FIG. IB from reproducing.在图IB中的输入声音S是由头戴耳机的驱动器原始再现的声音信号的一般项，像例如来自音乐再设备的音乐信号、在壳体外的麦克风的声音（其中头戴耳机起助听功能的作用）或通过诸如电话通信之类的通信的声音信号（其中头戴耳机用作头戴话筒）。 Input sound S in FIG. IB is a general term of a sound signal from the headphone reproducing the original drive, such as for example a music signal from a music device again, microphone sound outside the housing (where the headphone hearing aid from effect) or a sound signal by communication such as telephone communication or the like (wherein the headphone is used as a microphone headset).

[0044] 如果注意在图3中的表达式⑴中的输入声音S，则均衡器16的传递函数E可由在图3中的表达式（3)代表。 The transfer function E [0044] Note that in Figure 3, if Expressions ⑴ the input sound S, the equalizer 16 in FIG. 3 by the expression (3) represents.而且，如果也考虑在图3的表达式（3)中均衡器16的传递函数E，则图IB的噪声消除系统的声压P可由在图3中的表达式（4)代表。 Further, if the expression is also contemplated in FIG. 3 (3) the equalizer transfer function of E 16, IB FIG eliminate the noise sound pressure in the expression system of FIG. 3 (4) may be P represents.

[0045] 如果假定麦克风111的位置非常接近耳朵的位置，那么由于字符H代表从驱动器15到麦克风（耳朵）111的传递函数，并且字符A和D分别代表功率放大器14和驱动器15的传递函数，所以可认识到，得到与不具有噪声减小功能的普通头戴耳机的特性相类似的特性。 [0045] If it is assumed position of the microphone 111 is very close to the position of the ear, then since the character H represents the transfer function from the driver 15 to the microphone (ear) 111 and the characters A and D represent the amplifier transfer function 14 and the driver 15, it can be appreciated that, without having to obtain the characteristic noise reduction headphone function similar general characteristics.要注意，在这个实例中均衡器16的传递函数E实质上等效于在频率轴上所看到的开环特性。 Note that in this example, the transfer function E of the equalizer 16 is substantially equivalent to the open-loop characteristics seen on the frequency axis.

[0046] 前馈型的噪声消除系统 [0046] feedforward noise cancellation system

[0047] 现在，描述前馈型的噪声消除系统。 [0047] Now, the feedforward noise cancellation system.图2A表示用于右声道侧的构造，其中前馈型噪声消除系统应用的头戴耳机系统附加到用户头部上，就是说，附加到用户头部HD上。 2A shows a configuration of the right side of the channel, wherein the feed-forward noise canceling headphone system application system attached to the head of a user, that is, attached to the user head HD.同时，图2B表示前馈型噪声消除系统的一般构造。 Meanwhile, FIG. 2B shows the general configuration of feedforward noise cancellation system.

[0048] 在前馈型噪声消除系统中，麦克风211如在图2A中看到的那样基本上布置在头戴耳机HP外。 [0048] In the feed forward type noise canceling system, the microphone 211 as seen in FIG. 2A as substantially disposed outside a headphone HP.那么，由麦克风211收集的噪声经受适当滤波过程，并且然后由在头戴耳机壳体HP内提供的驱动器25再现，从而在靠近耳朵的地方处消除噪声。 Then, noise collected by the microphone 211 is subjected to a suitable filtering process and then reproduced by a driver provided in the headphone housing HP 25, thereby eliminating the noise near the ear in place.

[0049] 参照图2B更具体地描述前馈型的噪声消除系统。 [0049] Referring to FIG. 2B described more specifically feedforward noise cancellation system.在图2B中表示的前馈型噪声消除系统包括麦克风和麦克风放大部分21，该麦克风和麦克风放大部分21包括麦克风211和麦克风放大器212。 Feed-forward noise canceling system shown in FIG. 2B includes a microphone and microphone amplification section 21, the microphone and microphone amplification section 21 includes a microphone 211 and microphone amplifier 212.噪声消除系统还包括为前馈控制设计的滤波器电路（下文称作FF滤波器电路）22、合成部分23、功率放大器24、及包括驱动电路251和扬声器252的驱动器25。 Noise canceling system further includes a filter circuit is a feedforward control design (hereinafter referred to as FF filter circuit) 22, synthesis section 23, power amplifier 24, and includes a driving circuit 251 and a speaker 252 of the drive 25.

[0050] 也在图2B中表示的前馈型噪声消除系统中，在方块中描述的字符A、D、及M分别代表功率放大器24、驱动器25、及麦克风和麦克风放大部分21的传递函数。 Feed-forward noise canceling system [0050] Also represented in FIG. 2B, the characters described in the box A, D, and M represent the power amplifier 24, driver 25 and microphone and microphone amplification section 21 of the transfer function.而且，在图2中，字符N代表外部噪声源。 Further, in FIG. 2, the character N represents an external noise source.噪声从噪声源N进入头戴耳机壳体HP的主要原因如上文联系反馈型噪声消除系统描述的那样。 Mainly due to the noise entering the headphone housing HP from the noise source N Information above feedback noise canceling system as described herein.

[0051] 而且，在图2B中，从外部噪声N的位置到消除点CP的传递函数，就是说，在噪声源与消除点之间的传递函数，由字符F代表。 [0051] Further, in FIG. 2B, the position of the external noise N to eliminate the transfer function point CP, that is, to eliminate the noise source and the transfer function between the points by the character F represents.而且，从噪声源N到麦克风211的传递函数，就是说，在噪声源与麦克风之间的传递函数，由字符F'代表。 Further, N from the noise source 211 to the microphone transfer function, that is, the transfer function between the noise source and the microphone, by the character F 'representative.此外，从驱动器25到消除点（耳朵位置）CP的传递函数，就是说，在驱动器与消除点之间的传递函数，由字符H代表。 Further, from the driver 25 to eliminate point (ear position) of the transfer function of the CP, that is, the transfer function between the driver and the point of elimination, by the character H represents.

[0052] 那么，如果形成前馈型噪声消除系统的核心的FF滤波器电路22由-α代表，那么来到在图2Β中的用户耳朵的声压或输出声音P可由在图5中的表达式（I)代表。 [0052] Then, if the FF filter circuit is formed feedforward noise elimination by the core system 22 on behalf -α, then the expression of the sound pressure or output sound to FIG 2Β in the user's ear by P in FIG. 5 formula (I) representative.

[0053] 这里，如果考虑理想条件，那么在噪声源与消除点之间的传递函数F由在图5中的表达式（2)代表。 [0053] Here, if ideal conditions are considered, then the elimination of the noise source and the transfer function F between the points in FIG. 5 by the expression (2) represents.然后，如果把在图5中的表达式（2)代入到在图5中的表达式（I)中，那么由于第一项和第二项相互抵消，所以在图2Β中表示的前馈型噪声消除系统中的声压P可由在图5中的表达式（3)代表。 Then, if the expression in FIG. 5 (2) into the expression (I) in FIG. 5, then since the first term and the second term cancel each other, so that the former represented in FIG 2Β-fed noise canceling sound pressure P of the system in FIG. 5 by the expression (3) represents.由表达式（3)，可认识到，噪声被消除，同时只有要听的音乐信号或对象声音信号等保留，并且可享受与在普通头戴耳机操作中的声音相类似的声音。 By the expression (3), it can be appreciated that the noise is eliminated, and only the music signal or target sound signals to listen to retain and enjoy the sound in the headphones ordinary operation similar to the sound.

[0054] 然而，实际上，难以得到具有完全满足在图5中表明的表达式⑵的这样的传递函数的完全滤波器的构造。 [0054] However, in practice, difficult to obtain a transfer function having such structure satisfies fully indicated in Figure 5 the complete expression ⑵ filter.具体地说，在中频和高频区中，通常不进行上述这样一种主动噪声减小处理，而是常常应用通过头戴耳机的被动声音截获，这是由于这样的原因：个体差别巨大，因为耳朵的形状在不同的人中不同，并且头戴耳机的附加状态在不同的人中不同；并且特性依据噪声的位置和麦克风的位置而变。 Specifically, in the medium and high frequency region is usually not carried out such an active noise reduction processing, but often use passive sound interception by the headphone, which is due to reasons: the great individual differences, because different shapes in different ears of different humans and headphone additional state at different humans; and characteristics depending on the location and position of the microphone noise becomes.要注意，在图5中的表达式（2)，如由表达式本身显然的那样，意味着从噪声源到耳朵位置的传递函数可由包括传递函数α的电路模拟。 It is noted that the expression in FIG. 5 (2), as apparent from the expression itself, as means to the ear from the noise source position comprises a transfer function by a transfer function of the circuit simulation α.

[0055] 要注意，与在反馈型噪声消除系统中不同，在图2Α和2Β中表示的前馈型噪声消除系统中的消除点CP如在图2Α中看到的那样可设置到用户的任意耳朵位置。 [0055] It is noted that unlike in the noise canceling system of the feedback type, the feedforward type shown in FIG 2Α noise and eliminate any system 2Β cancellation point CP as seen in FIG 2Α as may be provided to the user ear position.然而，在普通情况下，传递函数α在设计阶段以前被固定和确定为对准某一目标特性。 However, in an ordinary case, the transfer function is fixed, and previously α to align a target characteristic determined in the design stage.因此，有这样一种现象发生的可能性：由于耳朵形状在不同用户中不同，所以不能实现足够的噪声消除效果，或者添加噪声分量但不处于相反相位中，导致异常声音的产生。 Thus, there is a possibility of occurrence of such a phenomenon: Because different users in different shape of the ear, the so can not achieve a sufficient noise canceling effect, or a noise component is added but not in the opposite phase, resulting in generation of abnormal sound.

[0056] 由这些，反馈型和前馈型的噪声消除系统一般具有不同的特性，因为尽管前馈型噪声消除系统振荡的可能性较低并因此稳定性较高，但难以得到足够的衰减量，而前馈型噪声消除系统可能要求对于系统稳定性的注意，同时可期望巨大衰减量。 [0056] From these, feedback and feedforward noise cancellation systems typically have different characteristics, although the possibility is low since the noise canceling system of the feedforward type and therefore a higher oscillation stability, but it is difficult to obtain a sufficient attenuation amount , while the noise canceling system of the feedforward type may require attention to stability of the system while a great attenuation amount can be expected.

[0057] 独立地提出一种使用自适应信号处理技术的噪声减小头戴耳机。 [0057] independently proposed adaptive signal processing using a noise reduction headphone technology.在使用自适应信号处理技术的噪声减小头戴耳机的情况下，麦克风提供在头戴耳机壳体的内部和外边。 In the case of noise using adaptive signal processing techniques to reduce the headset, the headset microphone provided outside and inside the earphone casing.内部麦克风用来分析用于与滤波器处理分量相抵消的误差信号，并且产生和更新新的自适应滤波器。 Internal microphone is used to analyze an error signal for cancellation with a filter processing component phase and produce and update a new adaptive filter.然而，由于在头戴耳机壳体外的噪声基本上由数字滤波器处理并被再现，所以噪声减小头戴耳机一般具有前馈系统的形式。 However, since noise outside of the headphone housing wearing substantially processed and reproduced by a digital filter, the noise reduction headphone generally has a form of a feedforward system.

[0058] 根据本发明实施例的噪声消除系统 [0058] The noise canceling system according to an embodiment of the present invention

[0059] 根据本发明实施例的噪声消除系统具有上述的反馈系统和前馈系统两者的优点。 [0059] having the advantages of both the feedback system and the feedforward system according to the embodiment of the noise cancellation system according to the present invention.

[0060] 在下面描述的本发明实施例中，在前馈型噪声消除系统中的FF滤波器电路22和在反馈型噪声消除系统中的FB滤波器电路12两者都具有数字滤波器的构造。 Embodiment [0060] The present invention is described in the following embodiment, the feedforward type noise canceling system configuration of the FF filter circuit 22 in both the FB filter circuit 12 and the feedback noise canceling system of the type having a digital filter .FF滤波器电路22具有传递函数-α，并因此下文有时称作α电路。 FF filter circuit 22 having a transfer function -α, α and thus hereinafter sometimes referred circuit.同时，FB滤波器电路12具有另一个传递函数-β，并因此下文有时称作β电路。 Meanwhile, FB filter circuit 12 has another transfer function -β, β and thus hereinafter sometimes referred circuit.

[0061] 图6Α、6Β及6C是方块图，分别表示FF滤波器22、FB滤波器12及每个构造成数字滤波器的FF和FB滤波器电路22和12的例子。 [0061] FIG 6Α, 6Β and 6C is a block diagram, respectively 22, and each of the examples FB filter 12 configured to filter the digital FB filter circuit 22 and the FF 12 and the FF filter.在图6A中表示的前馈型噪声消除系统如在图2中看到的那样插入在麦克风放大器212与功率放大器24之间。 As insertion feedforward noise cancellation system shown in FIG. 6A as seen in FIG. 2 between the microphone amplifier 212 and the power amplifier 24.同时，在图6B中表示的反馈型噪声消除系统如在图I中看到的那样插入在麦克风放大器112与功率放大器14之间。 Meanwhile, the feedback noise canceling system shown in FIG. 6B as seen in Figure I, as inserted between the microphone amplifier 112 and the power amplifier 14.

[0062] 在FF滤波器电路22和FB滤波器电路12的任一个构造成数字滤波的场合，它由用来把由麦克风收集的模拟噪声信号转换成数字噪声信号的ADC(模数转换器）、用来进行·算术运算以形成用来从数字噪声信号减去噪声的噪声减小信号的DSP/CPU(数字信号处理器/中央处理单元）、及用来把来自DSP/CPU的数字噪声减小信号转换成模拟噪声减小信号的DAC(数模转换器)形成。 [0062] In a structure according to any FF filter circuit 22 and the FB filter circuit 12 to a digital filter case, which the ADC is used by the analog noise signal collected by the microphone into a digital noise signal (analog to digital converter) , · for performing arithmetic operations to form the DSP / CPU for subtracting the noise from the digital noise signal a noise reduced signal (digital signal processor / central processing unit), and to the figures from the DSP / CPU noise reduction small signal into an analog noise reduction signal DAC (Digital analog converter) is formed.要注意，在图6C中的表示DSP/CPU意味着使用DSP和CPU的一个。 Note that express DSP in Figure 6C / CPU means using a DSP and CPU.

[0063] 在FF滤波器电路22或FB滤波器电路12以这种方式构造成数字滤波的场合，(I)系统允许在多个模式中的自动选择或通过用户的手动选择，并且这如从用户看到的那样提高使用性能，和（2)由于进行允许精细控制的数字滤波，所以可实现呈现最小分散性的高精度控制质量，这导致噪声减小量和噪声减小频带的增大。 [0063] In the FF filter circuit 22 or the FB filter circuit 12 is configured in such a manner as the case of digital filtering, (the I) the system allows automatic selection or a plurality of modes by a manual selection by the user, and from this as user seen to improve performance, and (2) since digital filtering allows for fine control, with high accuracy can be achieved exhibit minimal dispersion quality control, which leads to noise reduction amount and the noise reduction frequency band is increased.

[0064] 而且，（3)由于滤波器形状通过对于用于算术运算处理装置（数字信号处理器(DSP)/中央处理单元（CPU))的软件的修改可改变而不用改变零件的数量，所以有利于在系统设计或装置特性的变化中涉及的变更。 [0064] Further, (3) since the filter shape can be changed through modifications to an arithmetic processing unit (digital signal processor (DSP) / central processing unit (the CPU)) without changing the software of the number of parts, so in favor of change involved in the design or changes in device characteristics of the system.⑷由于相同的ADC和/DAC和DSP/CPU也用于诸如音乐再现或电话通话之类的外部输入，所以通过对于这样的外部输入信号也应用高精度的数字均衡可期望高声音质量再现。 ⑷ Since the same ADC and / DAC and DSP / CPU also for an external input such as music reproduction or telephone conversation or the like, so that by such an external input signal to be applied with high precision digital equalizer may reproduce a desired high sound quality.

[0065] 如果FF滤波器电路22或FB滤波器电路12以这种方式以数字化形式形成，那么灵活控制对于各种情况成为可能的，并且可构造一种能以高质量消除噪声而与使用系统的用户无关的系统。 [0065] If the FF filter circuit 22 or the FB filter circuit 12 is formed in a digitized form in this manner, then flexible control becomes possible for various cases, and may be able to construct a high quality and eliminate noise using the system the user-independent system.

[0067] 前馈系统如上文描述的那样具有高稳定性的显著优点。 As a significant advantage of high stability [0067] The feed forward system as described above.然而，它具有固有问题。 However, it has inherent problems.图7A和7B表明前馈系统的问题，并且表示在右声道侧上的前馈系统的构造，其中前馈型噪声消除系统应用的头戴耳机系统附加到用户或听众的用户头部HD上。 7A and 7B show front feed system problem, and shows the structure of the feedforward system on the right side of the channel, wherein the noise canceling system of the feedforward type headphone application system attached to the user or user's head HD listener .

[0068] 参照图7A，从确定为开始点的噪声源NI到消除点CP的传递函数由Fl代表，该消除点CP是噪声抵消的目标点，并且提供在头戴耳机壳体内侧上的耳道的附近。 [0068] Referring to Figure 7A, the noise source is determined from the start point to eliminate NI transfer function Fl point CP by the representative point CP is the elimination of the target point of noise cancellation and is provided on the ear in the inner earphone headset Road nearby.同时，从噪声源NI到在头戴耳机壳体的外侧上提供的麦克风211的传递函数由Fl，代表。 Meanwhile, NI from the noise source to the microphone is provided on the outside of the headset housing 211 by a transfer function Fl, representatives.

[0069] 在这时，由在头戴耳机壳体的外侧上提供的麦克风211收集的声音用来调节FF滤波器电路U电路）22的滤波器。 [0069] At this time, by a microphone provided on the outside of the headset housing 211 for adjusting the sound collecting filter circuit U FF circuit) 22 of the filter.然后，到消除点CP的传递函数Fl如由在图5中的表达式（3)中表示的那样用（Fl' ADHMa )模拟，并且最后声音在头戴耳机内部中的声学空间中被减去，导致噪声的减小。 Then, to eliminate the transfer function Fl point CP to (3) above with (Fl 'ADHMa) modeled by expression represented in FIG. 5, and finally the sound is subtracted in the acoustic space inside the headset in the headset , resulting in noise reduction.这里，在图5中的表达式（3)通常应用于低频区，而相位在高频区被移动。 Here, the expression (3) in FIG. 5 is generally applied to the low frequency region, the phase is shifted in the high frequency region.因此，通常不采取FF滤波器电路22的增益，就是说，不进行抵消。 Thus, the gain is usually not taken FF filter circuit 22, that is, not offset.

[0070] 这里，如果假定FF滤波器电路22的滤波器被固定，并且传递特性α如在图7Α中所看到的那样在这样一种噪声位置关系中被优化，同时用来收集噪声的麦克风的位置被固定并且除此之外使用单一麦克风，那么如由在图7Β中的噪声源Ν2指示的那样噪声源在对于麦克风211的相对侧上存在的这样一种情况下FF滤波器电路22不是优选的。 [0070] Here, assuming that the filter FF filter circuit 22 is fixed, and as the transfer characteristic α is optimized in such a noise positional relationship as seen in FIG 7Α, while the microphone used to collect noise the position is fixed and in addition to the use of a single microphone, then as the noise source as in such a case on the opposite side to the microphone 211 of the present FF filter circuit 22 in FIG 7Β not noise sources indicated Ν2 It preferred.

[0071] 具体地说，在图7Β中表明的例子的情况下，从噪声源Ν2发射的噪声的声波通过在头戴耳机与用户头部之间的间隙首先泄漏到头戴耳机壳体，并且形成在头戴耳机壳体中的讨厌噪声。 [0071] Specifically, in the case indicated in FIG 7Β example, acoustic noise emitted from the noise source Ν2 through a gap between the headset and the head of the user from leaking to the first headphone housing, and formed in the headset earphone housing annoying noise.此后，声波来到头戴耳机的外边，并且由麦克风211收集，之后，它们经受通过FF滤波器电路22的特定滤波（_ α )，并且由驱动器再现。 Thereafter, acoustic waves to the outside of the headset, and collected by a microphone 211, after they are subjected to particular filtering (_ [alpha]) of the FF filter circuit 22 and reproduced by the driver.

[0072] 如由在图7Β和7Α之间的比较可认识到的那样，在图7Α的布置的情况下，漏入的噪声和从驱动器25再现的再现信号同时到达消除点CP。 [0072] As a comparison between FIGS. 7Β 7Α and as may be appreciated, in the case of the arrangement of FIG 7Α, and noise leaking into the reproduced signal reproduced from the driver 25 simultaneously reach eliminating point CP.因此，噪声和再现信号的相位在其内成为彼此相反的频带较宽，并因此，实现固定的噪声减小效果。 Accordingly, phase noise and the reproduction signal becomes a wide band opposite to each other therein, and thus, to achieve a fixed noise reduction effect.然而，在图7Β的布置的情·况下，泄漏到头戴耳机壳体内部的噪声和到达麦克风211的噪声存在，并且作为结果，在其之间具有不期望时间差的信号彼此添加。 However, in the arrangement of FIG 7Β-case situation, the leakage into the interior of wearing the earphone housing arrive at the microphone 211 and the noise of noise is present, and as a result, the time difference between the signal having unwanted add another.因而，具体地在中频和高频区中，噪声和再现信号的相位变得彼此不相反，而是相位作为正相位在其内添加的频带增大。 Thus, particularly in middle and high frequency region, the phase noise and the reproduction signal become opposite to each other, but the phase is a positive phase within the band increases added.

[0073] 相应地，在图6Β中表明的状态下，尽管布置打算用于噪声减小，但噪声在相位彼此不重合的频率下增大。 [0073] Accordingly, in the case indicated in FIG 6Β state, although the arrangement is intended for noise reduction, but the phase noise increases at frequencies do not overlap each other.在这时，即使在宽频率区上可实现巨大衰减，由于人类听觉的感觉对于噪声甚至在窄频带中产生的事实具有不熟悉的感觉。 At this time, even in a wide frequency region can achieve significant attenuation, due to the fact that the human auditory sense of noise is generated even in a narrow band having unfamiliar feeling.因此，在图6Β中表示的布置不太实际。 Thus, in the arrangement shown in FIG 6Β impractical.

[0074]自然，这在频率增大到其中相位转动较高的高频区时使该情形显得更可能。 [0074] Naturally, this increases to cause the case where the phase rotation of the higher-frequency region is more likely to appear in frequency.相应地，这在前馈型噪声消除系统的FF滤波器电路22中，形成使噪声消除的有效效果频带（就是说α特性的增益在其内存在的频带）变窄的原因。 Accordingly, this type of feedforward filter FF noise cancellation circuitry 22 is formed so that an effective noise cancellation effect of the band (that is characteristic of the gain α of the band in its memory) the reason narrowed.

[0076] 因此，本发明实施例应用的噪声消除系统具有一种基本构造，其中反馈型噪声消除系统和前馈型噪声消除系统彼此叠加，以形成单一噪声消除系统。 [0076] Thus, the application as the noise canceling system embodiment of the present invention has a basic configuration wherein a noise canceling system of the feedback type and the feedforward type noise canceling system superimposed on each other to form a single noise canceling system.

[0077] 具体地说，在下面描述的本实施例的噪声消除系统中，当它处于如在图7Α中所看到的这样一种状态时，在宽频带上由前馈型噪声消除系统稳定地进行噪声消除。 [0077] Specifically, in the following description of the noise cancellation system in the embodiment when it is in such a state as seen in FIG 7Α, stable over a wide band canceling system feedforward type noise perform noise cancellation.另一方面，当本实施例的噪声消除系统处于如在图7Β中所看到的这样一种状态时，泄漏到头戴耳机壳体中的噪声也能由反馈型噪声消除系统有效地消除。 On the other hand, when the noise cancellation system according to the present embodiment in such a state as seen in FIG 7Β, leaking into the headphone housing can be canceled by the noise feedback system effectively eliminate noise.

[0078] 噪声消除系统的第一工作例 [0078] The first working embodiment of the noise cancellation system

[0079] 本发明适用的噪声消除系统的第一工作例表不在图8中。 The invention is applicable to the noise [0079] Elimination of the first working embodiment of the present system is not in the table in FIG. 8.同时,在图8中表不的FF滤波器电路22和FB滤波器电路12具体地表示在图9Α和图9Β中。 Meanwhile, in the table of FIG. 8 is not the FF filter circuit 22 and the FB filter circuit 12 shown in FIG. 9Α specifically and in FIG 9Β.首先参照图8，表示的噪声消除系统包括在图8的右部分处表示的反馈型噪声消除系统和在图8的左部分处表示的前馈型噪声消除系统。 Referring first to FIG. 8, showing the noise cancellation system comprises a feedback-type noise is represented in the right portion of FIG. 8 canceling system and the feedforward type noise shown in the left portion of FIG. 8 cancellation system.

[0080] 更具体地说，在图8中表示的噪声消除系统中的反馈型噪声消除系统包括：麦克风和麦克风放大部分21，它又包括麦克风211和麦克风放大器212 ;FF滤波器电路（α电路）22 ;功率放大器24 ;及驱动器25。 [0080] More specifically, noise is represented in FIG. 8 canceling system of the feedback type in the noise canceling system comprising: a microphone and microphone amplification section 21, which in turn includes a microphone 211 and microphone amplifier 212; FF filter circuit (circuit [alpha] ) 22; a power amplifier 24; and a driver 25.FF滤波器电路22如在图9Α中所看到的那样具有由ADC 221、DSP/CPU部分222及DAC 223形成的数字滤波器的构造。 FF filter circuit 22 as a digital filter having a structure formed by the ADC 221, DSP / CPU section 222 and DAC 223 in FIG 9Α as seen.

[0081] ADC 27例如从外部音乐再现设备、助听器的麦克风等接受模拟信号形式的输入声音，把输入声音转换成数字信号，及把数字信号供给到DSP/CPU部分222。 [0081] ADC 27, for example, from an external music reproduction accepts input sound in the form of an analog signal device, a hearing aid microphone or the like, converts the input sound into a digital signal, and the digital signal is supplied to the DSP / CPU section 222.因此，DSP/CPU部分222可把用来减小噪声的噪声减小信号添加到从外部供给到其的输入声音上。 Thus, DSP / CPU section 222 can be used to reduce the noise to the noise reduction signal supplied from the outside is added to the input sound thereto.

[0082] 要注意，在图8中表示的前馈型噪声消除系统部分中，麦克风和麦克风放大部分21的传递函数由“Ml”代表，FF滤波器电路22的传递函数由“_α ”代表，功率放大器24的传递函数由“Al”代表，及驱动器25的传递函数由“D1”代表。 [0082] It is noted that the feedforward type shown in the noise canceling system section in FIG. 8, the transfer function of the microphone and microphone amplification section 21 from "Ml" representative of the transfer function of the FF filter circuit 22 is "_α" Representative, the power amplifier 24 by the transfer function of the transfer function "Al" representatives, and driver 25 by "D1" representative.而且，在前馈型噪声消除系统部分中，可考虑在驱动器与消除点之间的传递函数“Η1”、在噪声源与消除点之间的传递函数“F”、及在噪声源与麦克风之间的传递函数“F, ”。 Further, the feedforward type noise canceling system section may be considered to eliminate between the driver and the point transfer function "Η1", to eliminate the noise source and the transfer function between points "F", and the noise source and the microphone between the transfer function "F,".

10[0083] 同时，在图8中表示的反馈型噪声消除系统部分包括：麦克风和麦克风放大部分11，它又包括麦克风111和麦克风放大器112 ;FB滤波器电路（β电路）12 ;功率放大器14 ；及驱动器15，它又包括驱动电路151和扬声器152。 10 [0083] Meanwhile, the noise feedback type shown in FIG. 8 canceling system section comprises: a microphone and microphone amplification section 11, it includes a microphone 111 and microphone amplifier 112; FB filter circuit (beta] circuit) 12; a power amplifier 14 ; and a driver 15, which in turn includes a drive circuit 151 and a speaker 152.FB滤波器电路12如在图9Β中所看到的那样具有包括ADC 121、DSP/CPU部分122及DAC 123的数字滤波器的构造。 FB filter circuit 12 having a configuration comprising as ADC 121, DSP / CPU section 122 and the digital filter of the DAC 123 as seen in FIG. 9Β.

[0084] 要注意，在图8中表示的反馈型噪声消除系统部分中，麦克风和麦克风放大部分11的传递函数由“M2”代表，FB滤波器电路12的传递函数由“-β ”代表，功率放大器14的传递函数由“Α2”代表，及驱动器15的传递函数由“D2”代表。 [0084] It is noted that the feedback type shown in FIG noise canceling system section 8, the transfer function of the microphone and microphone amplification section 11 by "M2" representative of the transfer function of the FB filter circuit 12 is "-β" Representative, the power amplifier 14 by the transfer function of the transfer function "Α2" representatives, and the driver 15 by "D2" representative.而且，在反馈型噪声消除系统部分中，可考虑在驱动器与消除点之间的传递函数“Η2”。 Further, in the feedback type in the noise canceling system section, may be considered in the transfer function between the driver and eliminate the point "Η2".

[0085] 在图8中表示的构造的噪声消除系统中，外部噪声由前馈型噪声消除系统部分提取和消除。 Noise [0085] The configuration shown in FIG. 8 canceling system, the external noise elimination and extraction system portion removed by the feed-forward noise.然而，通过噪声的声源和声源的声波的性质（例如，通过像球形波或平面波的行为之类的声波的行为），尽管如上述那样得到在头戴耳机壳体内噪声在其内减小的频带，但实际上难以高效地消除噪声，并且作为结果，可能出现噪声剩余在其内的频带。 However, by nature of the acoustic sound source of noise sound source (e.g., by acting like an acoustic wave acts like a spherical wave or a plane wave), although obtained as in the headphone housing as described above in which the noise reduction band, but it is actually difficult to efficiently cancel noise, and as a result, noise remaining within the frequency band thereof may occur.类似问题也由头戴耳机的附加状态或个人耳朵的形状而发生。 Similar problems also occur by the shape of the headphones additional state or individual ear.

[0086] 然而，在具有在图8中表示的构造的噪声消除系统的情况下，在前馈型噪声消除系统部分中剩余的噪声分量和进入头戴耳机壳体内的噪声分量可通过反馈型噪声消除系统部分的作用高效地消除。 [0086] However, in the case of a configuration shown in FIG. 8 noise cancellation system, the feedforward-type noise canceling system section of the remaining noise component and the noise entering the headphone housing through a feedback type noise component may canceling system section acting efficiently eliminated.换句话说，由于使反馈型噪声消除系统部分和前馈型噪声消除系统同时可操作，所以实现比当单独使用前馈型和反馈型的噪声消除系统的每一个时实现的效果高的噪声消除效果或噪声减小效果。 In other words, since the noise canceling system of the feedback type and the feedforward type portions noise canceling system also operable, when it is used alone to achieve a high ratio of feed forward and feedback-type noise canceling system of the effect achieved for each noise cancellation effect or noise reduction effect.

[0087] 以这种方式，在图8中表示的噪声消除系统中，泄漏到头戴耳机壳体内的噪声在消除点CP处可由在图8的右部分处表示的反馈型噪声消除系统部分适当地消除，而来自在头戴耳机壳体外的噪声源N的噪声在消除点CP处可由在图8的左部分处表示的前馈型噪声消除系统部分适当地消除。 [0087] In this manner, noise is represented in FIG. 8 canceling system, the noise leaking into the headphone housing wearing eliminated by eliminating point CP noise feedback type shown in the right portion of FIG. 8 at a suitable part of the system eliminated, and the headset from the noise source N outside the headphone housing at the noise canceling point CP feedforward noise may be represented in the left portion of FIG. 8 partially canceling system is appropriately eliminated.

[0088] 要注意，在图8中表示的噪声消除系统中的反馈型噪声消除系统部分和前馈型噪声消除系统的每一个独立地包括麦克风和麦克风放大部分、功率放大器及驱动器。 [0088] It is noted that the noise shown in FIG. 8 canceling system of the feedback type in the noise canceling system section and the feedforward type noise canceling each independently comprise a microphone and microphone amplification section, a power amplifier and a driver system.

[0089] 图10表明在反馈型噪声消除系统和前馈型噪声消除系统之间衰减特性的一般差另IJ。 [0089] FIG. 10 shows the cancellation system and the feedforward type generally noise canceling system the difference between the attenuation characteristic in another IJ feedback type noise.参照图10，横坐标轴指示频率，并且纵坐标轴指示衰减量。 Referring to FIG. 10, the abscissa axis indicates the frequency, and the ordinate axis indicates the attenuation amount.而且，如在图10中看到的那样，尽管反馈型噪声消除系统的衰减特性具有窄频带和高水平的特征，但前馈型噪声消除系统的衰减特性具有宽频带和低水平的特征，如以上描述的那样。 Further, as seen in FIG. 10, although feedback noise canceling system having an attenuation characteristic narrow band and high level features, but the attenuation characteristics of noise canceling system of the feedforward type has a wide band and low level features, such as as described above.

[0090] 然而，在图8中表示的噪声消除系统认为好比是双生型（twintype)的噪声消除系统，它包括前馈型噪声消除系统部分和反馈型噪声消除系统。 [0090] However, the noise shown in FIG. 8 canceling system that is like a twin type (twintype) noise cancellation system, which includes a feedforward type and the noise canceling system section feedback type noise canceling system.双生型的噪声消除系统具有由前馈型噪声消除系统和反馈型噪声消除系统的在图10中表明的特性形成的复合衰减特性。 Twin-type noise reduction system having a complex feedback type and the noise canceling system of the feedforward type noise canceling system is indicated in FIG. 10 formed characteristic attenuation characteristics.

[0091] 图11表明其中双生型噪声消除系统具有在图8中表不的构造的裳减特性的实际测量值、其中使用反馈型噪声消除系统的衰减特性的实际测量值、及其中使用前馈型噪声消除系统的衰减特性的实际测量值。 [0091] Figure 11 shows a noise canceling system in which the twin type having the actual measurement value Save Sang characteristic table of FIG 8 is not constructed, wherein prior to actual measurement using a feedback-type noise canceling system of the attenuation characteristic, and using the feed the actual measurement values ​​of the attenuation characteristic of the noise canceling system of the type.

[0092] 参照图11,横坐标轴指示频率,并且纵坐标轴指示衰减量。 [0092] Referring to FIG. 11, the axis of abscissa indicates the frequency, and the ordinate axis indicates the attenuation amount.而且，由粗虚线指示的并且具有字符“反馈”附加到其上的曲线指示反馈型噪声消除系统的衰减特性。 Further, indicated by a thick broken line and having characters "fed back" to the attenuation characteristic curve of the system on which the feedback noise canceling indication.同时，由细虚线指示的并且具有字符“前馈”附加到其上的另一条曲线指示前馈型噪声消除系统的衰减特性。 Meanwhile, indicated by a thin broken line and having characters "feed forward" to the attenuation characteristic curve indicates the front of the other on a feed-forward noise canceling system.由实线指示的并且具有字符“双生”附加到其上的另外一条曲线指示具有在图8中表示的构造的双生型噪声消除系统的衰减特性。 Indicated by a solid line and having characters "twin" attached thereto indicates the attenuation characteristic curve further having a configuration shown in FIG. 8 twin type noise cancellation system.

[0093] 如可从图11认识到的那样，反馈型噪声消除系统具有窄频带和高水平的衰减特性，而前馈型噪声消除系统具有宽频带和低水平的另一种衰减特性。 [0093] As can be appreciated from FIG. 11 as to the feedback-type noise canceling system having a narrow band attenuation characteristic and a high level, while the noise canceling system of the feedforward type has a wide band and low level of another attenuation characteristic.而且，可认识到，双生型噪声消除系统具有在宽频率范围上呈现高水平的衰减特性。 Further, it is recognized, twin type has an attenuation characteristic of the noise canceling system exhibits a high level over a wide frequency range.

[0094] 以这种方式，具有在图8中表示的构造的双生型噪声消除系统具有反馈系统和前馈系统的衰减特性的两者，并且可实现宽频带和高水平的衰减特性。 [0094] In this manner, it has a structure shown in FIG. 8 twin type noise canceling system having attenuation characteristics of both the feedback system and the feedforward system and can implement an attenuation characteristic of a wide band and a high level.

[0095] 噪声消除系统的第二工作例 [0095] The second working embodiment of the noise cancellation system

[0096] 图12表不本发明适用的噪声消除系统的第二工作例。 [0096] Table 12 does not apply the present invention to eliminate the noise of the second embodiment of the working system.参照图12,表不的噪声消除系统的第二工作例包括前馈型噪声消除系统部分，后者又包括麦克风和麦克风放大部分21，该麦克风和麦克风放大部分21又包括麦克风211和麦克风放大器212。 Referring to FIG. 12, the second table is not a working embodiment the noise cancellation system includes a feedforward type noise canceling system section, which in turn includes a microphone and microphone amplification section 21, the microphone and microphone amplification section 21 and includes a microphone 211 and microphone amplifier 212 .前馈型噪声消除系统部分还包括：FF滤波器电路22，它由ADC 321、DSP/CPU部分322及DAC 323形成；功率放大器33 ;及驱动器34，它又包括驱动电路341和扬声器342。 Feed-forward noise canceling system section further comprises: FF filter circuit 22, which is formed by the ADC 321, DSP / CPU section 322 and DAC 323; a power amplifier 33; and a driver 34, which in turn includes a drive circuit 341 and a speaker 342.

[0097] 在图12中表示的噪声消除系统的第二例还包括反馈型噪声消除系统部分，后者又包括麦克风和麦克风放大部分11，该麦克风和麦克风放大部分11又包括麦克风111和麦克风放大器112。 [0097] 12 shown in FIG noise cancellation system further comprising a second embodiment of a feedback-type noise canceling system section, which in turn includes a microphone and microphone amplification section 11, the microphone and microphone amplification section 11 and includes a microphone 111 and microphone amplifier 112.反馈型噪声消除系统部分还包括：FB滤波器电路12，它由ADC 324、DSP/CPU部分322及DAC 323形成；功率放大器33 ;及驱动器34，它又由驱动电路341和扬声器342形成。 Feedback noise canceling system section further comprises: FB filter circuit 12, which is formed by the ADC 324, DSP / CPU section 322 and DAC 323; a power amplifier 33; and a driver 34, which in turn is formed by the driving circuit 341 and a speaker 342.

[0098] 具体地说，尽管根据在图8中表示的第一工作例的噪声消除系统具有其中反馈型噪声消除系统部分和前馈型噪声消除系统彼此独立地形成并且彼此连接的构造，但在图12中表示的噪声消除系统的第二例构造成，反馈型和前馈型噪声消除系统共同使用DSP/CPU部分322、DAC 323、功率放大器33及驱动器34。 [0098] Specifically, although the noise cancellation system according to a first embodiment of the work represented in Figure 8 wherein the feedback type having a noise canceling system section and the feedforward type and the noise canceling formed independently from each other configured system connected to each other, but in the 12 shows a noise canceling system of the second embodiment is configured to, feedback and feedforward noise cancellation system using a common DSP / CPU section 322, DAC 323, power amplifier 33 and driver 34.

[0099] 而且，在图12中表示的噪声消除系统的第二例中，麦克风和麦克风放大部分21的传递函数由“Ml”代表，FF滤波器电路22的传递函数由“-α ”代表，功率放大器33的传递函数由“Α”代表，及驱动器34的传递函数由“D”代表。 [0099] Further, in the second embodiment of FIG. 12 shows a noise canceling system, the transfer function of the microphone and microphone amplification section 21 from "Ml" representative of the transfer function of the FF filter circuit 22 "-α" Representative, the power amplifier 33 by the transfer function of the transfer function "Α" represented by 34 and the drive "D" representative.而且，麦克风和麦克风放大部分11的传递函数由“M2”代表，及FB滤波器电路12的传递函数由“_β ”代表。 Further, the transfer function of the microphone and microphone amplification section 11 by the transfer function "M2" representatives, and FB filter circuit 12 by "_β" representative.

[0100] 也在根据在图12中表示的第二工作例的噪声消除系统中，可考虑在驱动器与消除点之间的传递函数“H”、在噪声源与消除点之间的传递函数“F”、及在噪声源与麦克风之间的传递函数“F”。 [0100] Also according to the noise eliminating the work of the second embodiment shown in FIG. 12 system, may be considered in the drive and to eliminate the transfer function between the point "H", to eliminate the noise source and the transfer function between the points " F ", and the transfer function between the noise source and the microphone of the" F ".

[0101] 而且，也在图12中表示的第二工作例中，输入声音通过ADC 35供给到DSP/CPU部分322，通过该DSP/CPU部分322它可添加到噪声减小信号上。 [0101] Further, also in the second operation example in FIG. 12 shows, the input sound is supplied through ADC 35 to DSP / CPU section 322, 322 which may be added by the DSP / CPU section to reduce the noise signal.

[0102] 相应地，在根据在图12中表示的第二工作例的噪声消除系统中，DSP/CPU部分322进行基于由在头戴耳机壳体外侧上的麦克风211收集的声音形成噪声减小信号的处理、和基于由在头戴耳机壳体内侧上的麦克风111收集的声音形成另一种减小信号的处理、及然后合成如此形成的噪声减小信号。 [0102] Accordingly, to eliminate the noise in the second operation example shown in FIG. 12 system, DSP / CPU section 322 is formed by the microphone noise reduction sound based on the outside of the headset housing 211 collected processing a signal, and another process based on the sound reduction signal formed by a microphone on the inner side of the headphone housing 111 collected, and then the resultant noise reduced signal thus formed.

[0103] 以这种方式，在根据在图12中表示的第二工作例的噪声消除系统的情况下，由于它包括在反馈型噪声消除系统部分和前馈型噪声消除系统部分之间共用的那些元件，所以可减小零件的数量，并且可简化构造。 [0103] In this manner, in the case where a noise cancellation system according to a second embodiment of the work represented in FIG. 12, since the elimination system comprising a feedforward section and a feedback-type noise in the noise canceling system section between the common those elements, the number of parts can be reduced, and the configuration can be simplified.

[0104] 而且，根据双生型的噪声消除系统，如上文描述的那样通过使由麦克风和麦克风放大部分21、FF滤波器电路22、功率放大器33及驱动器34形成的前馈型噪声消除系统部分；和由麦克风和麦克风放大部分11、FB滤波器电路12、功率放大器33及驱动器34形成的反馈型噪声消除系统部分同时起作用，可实现宽频带和高水平的衰减特性。 [0104] Further, according to the twin-type noise elimination system, as by a microphone and microphone amplification section 21 as described above, the feedforward type noise FF filter circuit 22, a power amplifier 33 and a driver 34 formed by eliminating parts of the system; and a microphone and microphone amplification section 11, a noise feedback FB filter circuit 12, a power amplifier 33 and a driver part 34 is formed cancellation system operate simultaneously, and can achieve a high level of broadband attenuation characteristic.

[0105] 噪声消除系统的第三工作例 [0105] The third operation example of the noise cancellation system

[0106] 顺便说明，在图8或12中表示的双生型噪声消除系统中，在听众听到外部源，如来自音乐再现设备的音乐信号或由助听麦克风收集的声音信号，如由输入声音S指不的那样，由于听到这样的声音或音乐，所以噪声减小量可能非常大。 [0106] Incidentally, in the 8 or twin type noise canceling system shown in FIG. 12, the listener hears an external source, such as a music signal from a music reproduction apparatus or by a hearing aid microphone to collect sound signal, as indicated by input sound S refers to not as due to hear the sound or music, so reducing the amount of noise can be very large.相反，尽管不必听到外部源，但声音可以减小以形成高质量级的无声状态。 In contrast, although not necessarily listen to the external source, but the sound can be reduced to form a high quality level of the silent state.例如，在听众必须在极大噪声下工作的场合，强烈要求以高质量级减小噪声。 For example, in the case of the listener must work under extreme noise, high quality Qiang Lie required to reduce the noise level.

[0107] 因此，尽管根据第三工作例的噪声消除系统是具有反馈型噪声消除系统和另一个前馈型噪声消除系统两者的双生型噪声消除系统，但它允许噪声消除系统部分的选择性起作用。 [0107] Thus, although the noise cancellation system according to a third embodiment of the work is a feedback type and another noise canceling system of the feedforward type noise canceling system of the twin type noise canceling system of both, but it allows a selective noise cancellation system portion kick in.具体地说，当要听外部源时，仅使反馈型噪声消除系统部分和前馈型噪声消除系统部分之一起作用。 Specifically, when listening to an external source, only the noise canceling system of the feedback type and the feedforward type part system, one part of a noise canceling function.然而，当没有必要听外部源而要形成高质量级的无声状态（最小声音状态）时，使反馈型噪声消除系统部分和前馈型噪声消除系统部分都起作用。 However, when there is no need to listen to an external source to form a high quality level of the silent state (minimum sound state), so that the feedback type and the noise canceling system section type noise canceling system of the feedforward part are functional.

[0108] 图13和14表示根据本发明第三工作例的噪声消除系统。 [0108] FIGS. 13 and 14 show the noise cancellation system according to a third embodiment of the present invention work.根据在图13和14中表示的第三工作例的噪声消除系统具有与根据在图12中表示的第二工作例的噪声消除系统的构造相类似的基本构造。 The noise cancellation system according to a third work represented in FIGS. 13 and 14 has a similar configuration to the basic configuration of the noise canceling system of the second embodiment of the work represented in FIG. 12 with.因而，这里省去与根据在图12中表示的第二工作例的噪声消除系统的元件共同的根据在图13和14中表示的第三工作例的噪声消除系统的元件描述，以避免重复。 Accordingly, the noise component is omitted here work a third embodiment of the cancellation system according to eliminate the common noise components of the system according to the second embodiment of the work represented in FIG. 12 shown in FIGS. 13 and 14 described to avoid repetition.

[0109] 根据在图13中表示的第三工作例的噪声消除系统构造成，根据在图12中表示的第二工作例的噪声消除系统另外包括在麦克风和麦克风放大部分11与ADC 324之间插入的开关电路36。 [0109] The noise eliminating the work of the third embodiment indicated in FIG. 13 system is configured, canceling system further includes a portion 11 and the ADC 324 between the microphone and microphone amplification in accordance with the second embodiment of the noise operation shown in FIG. 12 the switching circuit 36 ​​is inserted.因此，在根据在图13中表示的第三工作例的噪声消除系统中，开关电路36可用于在其中来自麦克风和麦克风放大部分11的声音信号供给到ADC 324的状态与其中从外部供给的作为外部源的输入声音S供给到ADC 324的另一种状态之间转换。 Thus, elimination of the noise in the third operation example shown in FIG. 13 system, the switching circuit 36 ​​which may be used as the ADC 324 and the state where the externally supplied from the microphone and microphone amplification section 11 is supplied to an audio signal to input sound S of an external source is supplied to the conversion between the ADC 324 and another state.

[0110] 相应地，在根据在图13中表示的第三工作例的噪声消除系统中，如果开关电路36切换到输入终端a侧，那么不供给输入声音S，并且FB滤波器电路12和FF滤波器电路22起作用，从而反馈型噪声消除系统部分和前馈型噪声消除系统部分都起作用，以形成高质量级的无声状态。 [0110] Accordingly, in the noise eliminating the work of the third embodiment represented in FIG. 13 system, if the switching circuit 36 ​​switches to the input terminal a side, then the input voice is not supplied to S, and the FB filter circuit 12 and the FF the filter circuit 22 functions, whereby the noise canceling system section feedback type and the feedforward type noise canceling system section are functional, to form a high quality level of the silent state.

[0111] 另一方面，如果开关电路36切换到另一个输入终端b侧，那么不供给来自FF滤波器电路22的声音，并且ADC 324、DSP/CPU部分322及DAC 323用作用于输入声音S的输入电路“均衡器”。 [0111] On the other hand, if the switch circuit 36 ​​is switched to the other input terminal b side, then sound is not supplied from the FF filter circuit 22, and ADC 324, DSP / CPU section 322 and DAC 323 is used as the input sound S input circuit "equalizer."然后，在这个实例中，FF滤波器电路22起作用，并因此，只有前馈型噪声消除系统部分起作用。 Then, in this example, the FF filter circuit 22 functions, and therefore, only the noise canceling system of the feedforward type function portion.因此，尽管消除噪声，但听众可听到输入声音S。 Thus, while eliminating noise, but the audience can hear the input sound S.

[0113] 同时，根据在图14中表示的第三工作例的噪声消除系统构造成，根据在图12中表示的第二工作例的噪声消除系统另外包括在麦克风和麦克风放大部分21与ADC 321之间插入的开关电路37。 [0113] Meanwhile, the noise canceling system according to the third operation example shown in FIG 14 is configured, a noise cancellation system according to a second embodiment of the work represented in FIG. 12 additionally includes a microphone and microphone amplification section 21 and the ADC 321 inserted between the switching circuit 37.因此，在根据在图14中表示的第三工作例的噪声消除系统中，开关电路37可用于在其中来自麦克风和麦克风放大部分21的声音信号供给到ADC321的状态与其中从外部供给的作为外部源的输入声音S供给到ADC321的另一种状态之间转换。 Thus, elimination of the noise in the third operation example shown in FIG. 14 system, the switching circuit 37 may be used in a state in which the sound from the microphone and microphone amplification section 21 is supplied to the signal and wherein ADC321 supplied from the outside as an external between the supply conversion to another state ADC321 input sound S source.

[0114] 相应地，在图14中表示的第三工作例的噪声消除系统中，如果开关电路37切换到输入终端a侧，那么不供给输入声音S，并且FF滤波器电路22和FB滤波器电路12起作用，从而前馈型噪声消除系统部分和反馈型噪声消除系统部分都起作用，以形成高质量级的无声状态。 [0114] Accordingly, the working noise of the third embodiment indicated in FIG. 14 canceling system, if the switch circuit 37 is switched to the input terminal a side, then the input is not supplied sound S, a filter circuit 22 and the FF and FB filter function circuit 12, so that the feedforward type and the noise canceling system section feedback noise canceling system section are functional, to form a high quality level of the silent state.

[0115] 另一方面，如果开关电路37切换到另一个输入终端b侧，那么不供给来自麦克风和麦克风放大部分21的声音，并且ADC 321、DSP/CPU部分322及DAC 323用作用于输入声音S的输入电路“均衡器”。 [0115] On the other hand, if the switch circuit 37 is switched to the other input terminal b side, then sound is not supplied from the microphone and microphone amplification section 21, and the ADC 321, DSP / CPU section 322 and DAC 323 is used as input sound S input circuit "equalizer."然后，在这个实例中，FB滤波器电路12起作用，并因此，只有反馈型噪声消除系统部分起作用。 Then, in this example, the FB filter circuit 12 functions, and therefore, only the noise canceling system of the feedback type function portion.因此，尽管消除噪声，但听众可听到输入声音S。 Thus, while eliminating noise, but the audience can hear the input sound S.

[0117] 以这种方式，在根据以上参考图13和14描述的第三工作例的噪声消除系统中，在要听外部源的输入声音S的场合，只使前馈型噪声消除系统部分和反馈型噪声消除系统部分之一起作用，从而尽管消除或减小噪声，但听众可顺利地听到输入声音。 [0117] In this manner, in the above with reference to FIGS. 13 and 14 described in the third embodiment work noise cancellation system, to listen to an external sound source input S of the case, only the feedforward type and the noise canceling system section feedback noise canceling system section one function, so that despite eliminating or reducing noise but the listener can hear the input sound smoothly.

[0118] 而且，在听众想听无声状态的这样一种情形下，前馈型噪声消除系统部分和反馈型噪声消除系统部分都用来消除来自外界的噪声和由相位不相符自身产生的噪声以形成高质量级的无声状态。 [0118] Further, in such a case the listener to hear the silent state, the feedforward type and the noise canceling system section feedback noise canceling system section are used to eliminate noise from the outside and the noise generated by itself does not match the phase to form a high quality level of the silent state.因此，听众可亲自感受强噪声减小效果的感觉。 Thus, the listener can feel personally feel strongly reduce the effect of noise.

[0119] 要注意，根据在图13中表示的第三工作例的噪声消除系统构造成，当输入声音S要再现时，只有前馈型噪声消除系统部分起作用；而根据在图14中表示的第三例的噪声消除系统构造成，只有反馈型噪声消除系统部分起作用。 [0119] It is noted that the noise cancellation system is configured to work in accordance with the third embodiment shown in FIG. 13, when the input sound S again present, only the noise canceling system of the feedforward type function section; and FIG. 14 is shown in accordance with noise canceling system of the third embodiment is configured to, only the noise canceling system of the feedback type function portion.然而，在噪声消除系统部分之间的变换不限于此，而是否则有可能把噪声消除系统构造成，听众可在是前馈型噪声消除系统部分应该起作用还是反馈型噪声消除系统部分应该起作用之间进行转换。 However, the transformation between the noise cancellation system portion is not limited thereto but may be otherwise configured to the noise cancellation system, the listener can eliminate parts of the system should function in a feedforward or a feedback-type noise noise canceling system should play a part convert between role.

[0120] 具体地说，有可能组合根据在图13和14中表示的第三工作例的噪声消除系统，从而提供开关电路36和开关电路37。 [0120] Specifically, possible to combine the noise canceling system according to the third operation example shown in FIG. 13 and 14, thereby providing a switching circuit 36 ​​and the switch circuit 37.而且，提供开关电路38，用来在输入声音S是应该供给到开关电路36还是供给到开关电路37之间转换。 Further, there is provided a switching circuit 38 for the input sound S should be supplied to the switching circuit 36 ​​is supplied to the switching circuit 37 between the converter.

[0121] 然后，如果新提供的开关电路38切换成输入声音S供给到开关电路36，那么开关电路36切换到输入终端b侧而开关电路37切换到输入终端a侧，以便仅使前馈型噪声消除系统起作用，从而听众可听到输入声音S。 [0121] Then, if the switch circuit newly provided 38 switched to the input sound S is supplied to the switching circuit 36, the switch circuit 36 ​​is switched to the input terminal b side while the switch circuit 37 is switched to the input terminal a side, so that only the feedforward noise cancellation system works, so that listeners can hear the input sound S.

[0122] 相反，如果新提供的开关电路38切换成输入声音S供给到开关电路37，那么开关电路37切换到输入终端b侧而开关电路36切换到输入终端a侧，以便仅使反馈型噪声消除系统起作用，从而听众可听到输入声音S。 [0122] Conversely, if the switch circuit newly provided 38 switched to the input sound S is supplied to the switching circuit 37, the switch circuit 37 is switched to the input terminal b side while the switch circuit 36 ​​is switched to the input terminal a side, so that only the feedback type noise eliminate the system works, so that listeners can hear the input sound S.

[0123]自然，也在这个实例中，当听众想形成高质量级的无声状态时，开关电路36和开关电路37都切换到输入终端a侧。 [0123] Naturally, also in this example, when the listener wants to form a high quality level of the silent state, the switch circuit 36 ​​and the switch circuit 37 are switched to the input terminal a side.因此，反馈型噪声消除系统部分和前馈型噪声消除系统部分都起作用，以形成高质量级的无声状态。 Thus, the noise canceling system section feedback type and the feedforward type noise canceling system section are functional, to form a high quality level of the silent state.

[0124] 要注意，以上描述的开关电路36、37及38的任一个可以形成为机械开关，或形成为电气开关。 [0124] It is noted that any of the above described switching circuit 36, 37 and 38 may be formed as a mechanical switch, or formed as an electrical switch.

[0125] 而且，尽管以上描述的是在图8、12、13及14中表示的噪声消除系统可接受外部源输入声音S的供给，但它们不限于刚描述的类型的那些。 [0125] Further, although the above-described noise cancellation system is shown in FIG. 8, 12 and 14 receive external sound source input S of the supply, but they are not limited to those of the type just described.也有可能形成作为仅用于不具有用来从外部接受输入声音S的输入部分的噪声再现的噪声消除系统而描述的噪声消除系统的任一种。 It is also possible to form not only a noise having a noise input for receiving the noise portion of the input sound S from the outside is reproduced canceling system described in any one cancellation system.

[0126] FB滤波器电路12和FF滤波器电路22的数字化形成的具体例子 [0126] Specific examples of the digitized FB filter circuit 12 and the FF filter circuit 22 is formed of

[0127] 在FB滤波器电路12和FF滤波器电路22以数字化形式形成的场合，它们的每一个如参照图6C和9描述的那样，由ADC、DSP/CPU部分及DAC形成。 [0127] In the case of FB filter circuit 12 and the FF filter circuit 22 in digital form, each of them as described with reference to FIG. 6C and 9 as described, is formed by the ADC, DSP / CPU section and a DAC.在这个实例中，如果例如是顺序转换类型的并且可进行高速转换的ADC和DAC用于ADC和DAC，那么噪声减小信号可在适当计时处产生，由此实现噪声的减小。 In this example, if the sequential conversion type and can be, for example, high-speed ADC and DAC for conversion ADC and DAC, then a noise reduction signal may be generated at suitable timing, thereby achieving noise reduction.

[0128] 然而，可进行高速转换的顺序转换型的ADC和DAC是如此昂贵，从而对于FB滤波器电路12和FF滤波器电路22需要高成本。 [0128] However, the order may be high-speed switching type converter ADC and DAC are so expensive, so for the FB filter circuit 12 and the FF filter circuit 22 requires a high cost.因此，描述一种甚至在过去使用Σ -Δ (sigma-delta)型的ADC或DAC的场合也有可能在适当计时处产生噪声减小信号而不产生巨大延迟量的技术。 Accordingly, even describes a case of using an ADC or DAC Σ -Δ (sigma-delta) type in the past may also produce noise reduction signal at a suitable timing without generating a great amount of delay in the art.要注意，为了简化描述，把其中该技术应用于FB滤波器电路12的情形当作例子，给出如下描述。 It is noted that in order to simplify the description, the case where the technique is applied to the FB filter circuit 12 as an example, description is given below.然而，该技术也可类似地应用于FF滤波器电路22。 However, this technique can also be similarly applied to FF filter circuit 22.

[0130] 一般地，ADC 121和DAC 123都使用其中使用I位信号的过取样方法和Σ -Λ调制。 [0130] In general, ADC 121 and the DAC 123 use the I signal using oversampled modulation method and Σ -Λ.例如，在模拟信号通过DSP/CPU部分122经受数字信号过程的场合，它转换成I Fs/多位（在大多数情况下，6位至24位）。 For example, in the case where the analog signal is subjected to digital signal process by the DSP / CPU section 122, it is converted into I Fs / multi-bit (in most cases, 6-24).然而，根据Σ -Δ方法，取样频率Fs [Hz]在大多数情况下升高到M倍的MFs [Hz]，以进行过取样。 However, according to Σ -Δ method, the sampling frequency Fs [Hz] of M times increased to MFs [Hz], in most cases, to perform oversampling.

[0131] 如在图15B中看到的那样，在ADC 121的进口处提供的去假频滤波器1211和在DAC 123的出口部分处提供的低通滤波器1233防止在高于1/2取样频率Fs的频带中的信号输入和输出。 [0131] As seen in FIG. 15B as false provided to ADC 121 at the inlet of the pilot filter 1211 and the low-pass filter provided at the outlet portion of the DAC 123 sampled at 1233 to prevent the above 1/2 input and output signals of the band of frequency Fs.然而，实际上，由于去假频滤波器1211和低通滤波器1233都由模拟滤波器形成，所以难以得到在Fs/2附近陡峭的衰减特性。 However, in practice, due to aliasing filter 1211 and the low-pass filter 1233 is formed by an analog filter, it is difficult to obtain at Fs / 2 in the vicinity of a steep attenuation characteristic.

[0132] 如在图15B中看到的那样，抽选滤波器1213包括在ADC侧，而内插滤波器1231包括在DAC侧，并且这些滤波器用来进行抽选过程和内插过程。 [0132] As seen in FIG. 15B as 1213 comprises a decimation filter in the ADC side while the interpolation filter 1231 includes a DAC side, and those filters used for interpolation and decimation process procedure.同时，高阶数的陡峭数字滤波器用来在滤波器每一个的内部施加带极限，由此减小在接受模拟信号的去假频滤波器1211上并且也在输出模拟信号的低通滤波器1233上的负担。 Meanwhile, the high-order steep digital filter is used to filter each of the internal band limit is applied, thereby reducing the low-pass filter 1233 to false-frequency analog signal receiving filter 1211 and also outputs the analog signal burden.

[0133] 顺便说明，在ADC 121和DAC 123中发生的延迟几乎由在抽选滤波器1213和内插滤波器1231中的高阶数字滤波器产生。 [0133] Incidentally, the delay occurring in the ADC 121 and the DAC 123 is generated almost by the high-order digital filter in the interpolation filter 1231 and the decimation filter 1213.具体地说，由于具有高阶数的滤波器（在有限脉冲响应（FIR)滤波器的情况下，具有巨大分抽头数的滤波器）用在具有MFs Hz的取样频率的区中以便在Fs/2周围得到陡峭的特性，所以最终发生组延迟。 Specifically, since the filter of higher order (in the case of a finite impulse response (FIR) filter, a filter having a great number of points of taps) used in the region having a sampling frequency of MFs Hz in order to Fs / 2 to obtain a steep characteristic around, so the final group delay occurs.

[0134] 在这个数字滤波器部分中，为了避免通过相位失真的时间波形变坏的不良影响，使用具有线性相位特性的FIR滤波器。 [0134] In this digital filter section, in order to avoid adverse effects of the time waveform by phase distortion deterioration, using an FIR filter having a linear phase characteristic.特别是，有基于运动平均滤波器希望使用FIR滤波器的趋势，该运动平均滤波器通过SINC函数（sin(x)/x)可实现内插特性。 In particular, there is the trend based on the moving average filter using an FIR filter is desired, by the moving average filter SINC function (sin (x) / x) characteristic interpolation may be implemented.要注意，在线性相位型的滤波器的情况下，滤波器长度一半的时间几乎形成延迟量。 Note that in the case of a linear phase type filter, the filter is formed almost half the length of a time delay amount.

[0135] FIR滤波器可代表其陡度和衰减效果随阶数（抽头数）增大而自然增大的特性。 [0135] FIR filter can represent its steepness and attenuation with the order (tap number) increases with an increase of the natural characteristics.由于具有小阶数的滤波器一般使用得不是非常多，因为它不提供显著的衰减量（提供许多泄漏）并且受假频影响较大。 Since a filter having a small order number is generally used to obtain not very much, because it does not provide significant attenuation amount (provides many leakage) and influenced by aliasing.然而，在反馈型噪声消除系统中使用小阶数的滤波器的场合，可减小延迟时间，因为满足下文描述的条件的FIR滤波器的使用成为可能的。 However, using feedback type filter in the noise canceling system of the order of a small case, the delay time can be reduced, because the use condition of the FIR filter described below becomes possible.

[0136] 如果延迟时间减小，那么相位转动减小。 [0136] If the delay time decreases, then the phase rotation decreases.结果，当FB滤波器电路12设计成产生如上文参照图4描述的这样的复合开环特性时，其特性高于O dB的带可扩大，并且在频带和其衰减特性方面通过噪声消除系统可实现显著效果。 As a result, when the FB filter circuit 12 is designed to produce such a composite as described above with reference to FIG. 4 open-loop characteristics, their characteristics of higher than O dB band can be expanded, and the system can eliminate the noise band and the attenuation characteristics achieve significant results.另外，可容易地设想在滤波器生产时的自由度也增大。 Further, the degree of freedom can be readily envisaged in the filter also increases production.

[0137] 因而，在图15B中，对于形成都为数字滤波器形式的抽选滤波器1213和内插滤波器1231的FIR滤波器，(I)应该使用在从近似（Fs-4kHz)至（Fs+4kHz)的频带上呈现等于或大于-60 dB的衰减的FIR滤波器，其中Fs是取样频率。 Decimation filter 1213 and the [0137] Accordingly, in FIG. 15B, are formed as a digital filter for an interpolation filter in the form of FIR filter 1231, (the I) should be used at from approximately (Fs-4kHz) to ( FIR filter exhibits greater than or equal to -60 dB attenuation of the Fs + 4kHz) band, where Fs is the sampling frequency.

[0138] 在这个实例中，(2)应该使用等于或大于两倍（近似40kHz)可听范围的取样频率Fs，并且（3)把Σ -Δ (sigma-delta)方法用作转换方法。 [0138] In this example, (2) should be used twice or more (approximately 40kHz) the sampling frequency Fs of the audible range, and (3) the Σ -Δ (sigma-delta) method is used as the conversion method.而且，⑷与除在条件（I)中规定的频带之外的其它频带相关的假频泄漏分量应该准许，从而应该使用其在转换处理设备内的处理机构中产生的组延迟被抑制到等于或小于Ims的数字滤波器。 Erqie, ⑷ associated with other frequency bands outside the frequency band of Jiachu specified in conditional (the I) the frequency of a leakage component should be permitted, should thus be used Chu Li body in the group for which conversion processing device is generated in the delay is equal to or Yizhi less than Ims digital filter.

[0139] 如果满足上述条件（I)和（4)的FIR滤波器用于抽选滤波器1213和内插滤波器1231，并且取样频率Fs满足条件（2)同时转换方法满足条件（3)，那么在过去使用的Σ -Δ型的ADC或DAC用来建造数字化形式的FB滤波器电路12。 [0139] If the above conditions (I) and satisfies (4) FIR filter for decimation filter 1213 and the interpolation filter 1231 and the sampling frequency Fs satisfies the condition (2) while the conversion method satisfies the condition (3), then FB filter circuit Σ -Δ type ADC or DAC used in the past for the construction of 12 in digital form.

[0140] 要注意，其中满足上述条件（I)和（4)的可形成不产生巨大延迟的数字滤波器的详细基本原则由本申请的发明人在共同待决日本专利申请No. 2006-301211中详细地描述。 [0140] It is noted that which satisfies the above conditions (I) and (4) does not occur in detail can form the basic principles of the digital filter by a huge delay of the present invention filed in co-pending Japanese Patent Application No. 2006-301211 in describe in detail.
